About me61, librarian, historian, gardener, Mac-user

About my libraryMystery, crime, history, architecture, topography, cookery, gardening, Danish, German, English, French, literature, literary history, languages. My wife and I have contributed to the growth of our library in about equal amounts. I am at the moment slowly working my way through our house and have started on the fourth room in our Copenhagen house.
I only include books we own. We havent necessarily read them all, some we just like having around for browsing, some are textbooks or reference. About half are in Danish, the rest mostly in English, German, Norwegian and French.
Special interests: History of Slesvig (small entity sandwiched between Denmark and Germany), Gardening, Japanese Studies, Mystery and Suspense, Classics.
